How much money do the pharmaceutical companies make off puberty blockers and hormones and who owns them?

What else do we know?

What are the shares like in these companies investing in trans medicine? Who are the main companies developing it?

I have the same question. Thanks for article link.

Thanks for that. After just finishing Dopesick, about the OxyContin scandal, the parallels with transgender healthcare is obvious.

We've seen this article before but useful to have it here for people who haven't seen it:

"A pharmaceutical firm that markets drugs used in gender-identity clinics to delay puberty has given £100,000 to the Liberal Democrats."

How much are the SNP and Greens getting from Ferring or others?

The older thread about this.

We won't understand the full scope of it until the detransitioner court cases hit. But for the SNP for instance - it's not just lobbying - there must be money involved for Sturgeon to be so fanatical about it.

This is very disturbing.

TAnon is alive and well and on Mumsnet.

The majority of PBs go on kids who suffer from early onset puberty. Precocious puberty outnumbers vs trans kids by about 1000% and they are not currently blocked by the NHS from getting PBs.

Have you got got links to confirm that the majority of puberty blockers go to patients suffering from early onset puberty, given that it’s quite a rare condition?

Ah you are needed on another thread to explain how blackface is different to womanface so if you can hop over to it and enlighten us we would be grateful!

I too would love to see a link to the facts that back up your claim. Precocious puberty is rare, and children who take puberty blockers for what must be a really distressing condition, only do so for a very limited period of time. The medication was never intended for long-term use.

I found an article for market value and forecast of sex reassignment surgery :
www.google.com/amp/s/www.gminsights.com/industry-analysis/sex-reassignment-surgery-market/amp

Of note, one if the two cited pitfalls and challenges to the market - rise in incidence of sex change regret.

Apologies for a bit of a derail. Was looking for market value of sex hormones and PBs. Will keep looking!

Revenue from testosterone in US has gone from 2.4 billion in 2013, to 3.8 billion in 2018 - US dollars. Healthy growth there - not broken down for treatment groups.

I found a very thorough worldwide market appraisal for gender dysphoria, up to 2030 and broken down by country, but is 200pages and over 5k US dollars, so had to pass. Would be fascinating though.

Can't quite put my finger on current market values - probably not in public domain for the most part as commercially sensitive data
Would be interesting to see the market value to medical insurance companies, and all sectors involved directly or indirectly - psychology, medical suppliers etc.
No doubt it's very big, and growing, business.

There was an interesting thread last year about pharmaceuticals that was enlightening, but I can't find it.

Pharmaceutical companies are just one part of the jigsaw. The net is much wider.

Greater sales are driven by market demand.

Ferring Pharmaceuticals state their focus is on reproductive medicine and maternal health, gastroenterology, urology, microbiome and early stage development.

It would not be appropriate to suggest ulterior motives to any company supporting political parties, without evidence. Drugs used to block puberty in gender nedicine are used in fertility treatments such as IVF, which would seem to me to be the more significant market for them.

So looking at triptorelin - the drug mentioned in the Times article - that is in the class of GnRHa molecules, which have a number of clinical uses.
Formulations of triptorelin are used in fertility treatments, prostate cancer, I think endometriosis, CPP, and others, which will include use in gender medicine.

The environmentalist, Anti-capitalist, Anti-globalisation, No Logo, Adbusters Left of 20 years ago would have been all over this, tracing the money through politics, universities, schools, media organisations, medical centres...
